The B-minor Mass has always represented a fascinating challenge to
musical scholarship. Composed over the course of Johann Sebastian
Bach's life, it is considered by many to be the composer's greatest
and most complex work. The fourteen essays assembled in this volume
originate from the International Symposium 'Understanding Bach's
B-minor mass' at which scholars from eighteen countries gathered to
debate the latest topics in the field. In revised and updated form,
they comprise a thorough and systematic study of Bach's Opus
Ultimum, including a wide range of discussions relating to the
Mass's historical background and contexts, structure and
proportion, sources and editions, and the reception of the work in
the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the light of
important new developments in the study of the piece, this
collection demonstrates the innovation and rigour for which Bach
scholarship has become known.
